Monaco – Constrained optimization
•
In traditional systems, we create
a plan to achieve target coverage
then lower doses to OARs as a
secondary process until the target
coverage is compromised.
•
With Monaco, the OAR doses
(dose limiting cost functions) are
prioritized and will be achieved
before dose to targets (objective
functions) are met.
•
Only when the OAR doses are
achieved will Monaco prioritize
target objectives.
